Alejandro Fernandez Las Vegas Concert Tickets

This September, Las Vegas welcomes the Mexican pop singer Alejandro Fernandez for yet another spectacular concert, which is predicted to be the jewel in the crown in the stage performances of the Latino virtuoso.

Perhaps the most prominent living Mexican singer, Alejandro is the son of the legendary Vicente Fernandez who was nicknamed 'The King of Ranchera Music’. Alejandro’s first breakthrough on the stage was also through traditional mariachi compositions but later on he went on to conquer the realm of pop music. To date, he has recorded 15 studio albums and six live compilations. Fernandez first made his name in 1995 with 'Como Quien Pierde Una Estrella’, a song that contemplates a sad love story . In 1997, he hit the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart with 'Si Tu Supieras’, which paved the way for his acclaim in North America, later reinforced by his own Star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Another official recognition for his talent are the two Latin Grammy Awards he holds. The prizes are also a tribute to the rediscovery and spread of Mexican music that Alejandro deploys worldwide.

Is Fernandez Considering Recording in English?

There is a number of examples of pop stars like Chakira, Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias who have issued albums in English after successful Spanish debuts. This is no problem for Fernandez whose English fluency is at the right level but it is the Mexican singer image that he believes suits him best so he would rather go on singing in Spanish. After all, his publicity campaigns on the territory of the United States are carried out in English but at the same time they are tapping into the potential of the Hispanic boom – a trend followed by several tens of millions of dedicated listeners. In an interview Fernandez gave for the Sun Sentinel 12 years ago, he revealed his strategy towards conquering the American market by pointing out that the United States was extremely important for Mexican music since, as he said, 'the music from Mexico is much more popular here where it thrives’. Apparently, his agenda for reaching out to second- and third-generation Latinos who enjoy Mexican music has met with resounding success even without any projects in English thus far.
